Depends on the illogic of the series. In True Blood, humans crave vampire blood so I assume in this world that Vampires don't have any diseases that humans must avoid, and likewise, vampire bodies do not get human diseases when they drink blood. STDs are never mentioned in True Blood.

HIV is certainly character-building. It's made me see all of the shallow things we cling to, like ego and vanity. Of course, I'd rather have a few more T-cells and a little less character. Randy Shilts

Oh, and the gay sex is just a fantasy, but at least a surprise that its a straight mans fantasy but hes tasted him some hot vampire blood, so....Bill doesn't turn me on.Lafayette, Jason, Jessica and Eric are the hotties, in my opinion. Eggs was hot too of course the character was a complete tool.

And never once saw a condom packet being ripped open, despite all the shagging that goes on. Softcore bareback porn!

Speaking of, can vampires have children with humans? They cant with each other because they are stuck in time, I assume they are non fertile as well. Must be strange to humans that vampires have such cold body parts.... ew.

Are you kidding me? I have been hearing about the buzz for a long time. I got sucked in to it early this year, watched the first two seasons and got HBO in time for this season. My favorite show on television. It is quite addicting.

On a similar topic, did anyone watch Six Feet Under (same director)? My mother got me hooked on Six Feet Under and once I found out Alan Ball was doing True Blood, I had to see it.

How dare anyone mention that damn Twillight movie in a True Blood thread!!!!! Twillight doesn't have anything on True Blood. Twillight was made for the teeny boppers, I could care less about Jacob or the other one. I want to stake both of them bitches...

As for the std thing, my thinking is a vamp is dead so how is he/she going to get any stds? And I would think because of that if a vamp drank from an HIV infected person would not become infected. I guess it would just be a different flavor.

What? Cliff? Honey, you must not watch much tv. Everyone knows about True Blood but if you're not into the boob tube, there is always the book, sweetness.

I recalled in one of the very early episodes in Season One that they do get affected by tainted blood. In that episode, the 3 vampires in a house were sexually feeding off a gay guy who supposedly was the willing sex cum food mate. Eventually as the episodes progressed, he was seen hung upside down dead in the house; throat slashed and dripping blood into a pail, when they found out he was infected with a disease, supposedly Hep D. The lead male vampire was seen telling the gay guy before killing him that how he warned the latter of unclean blood. Seems it's a form of Hepatitis that has no effect on humans, however when a vampire comes into contact with Hep D infected blood they become much weaker which puts them at risk of being killed.

Anyways, as much as it's a fantasy to have a romp with your desired vamp character on True Blood, can't imagine having a piece of cold (dead) meat inside you or putting your own meat into a cold ass or pussy.

@Queen Tokelove: Do agree with you that True Blood is for more serious viewing with lotsa flesh (yum) and bite. Just for note, in the 2nd half of the 3rd Twilight installment, Bella does get pregnant by Edward, so there goes a theory. But, logically, if vamps were dead, shouldn't their semen be dead too?

I guess it depends on who writes what. But I did see the episode you are talking about with the Hep D. What was interesting to me is that silver can paralyze a vamp and that they started the rumor that a vamp can't see his reflection in the mirror.

As for Twillight and Bella getting preggers, better hope the baby comes out human or she can forget breastfeeding.

The whole thing with the werewolves and Sam finding his family and Lafayette's HI-larious line about Jesus the hot Mexican nurse and the hotties Hoyt and Jason and Eric and Bill and of course Sookie and Jessica and Pam. Not to mention Tara and, last season, Maryann and that hottie Eggs.

I could go on and on and on . . . True Blood is the gift that keeps on giving.

Now if any of you say that you liked the video Snoop Dogg did, "Oh Sookie", I am coming to stake you all personally. I thought it was horrible, low budget, and extremely ghetto, with the chain and the ring that spelled Sookie. I really can't believe that HBO backed that crap. Yeah, Snoop was tweeting about it and I told him it sucked, not that he prolly read my Tweet anyways. But he could've done a better job making that video.

The Mississippi "King" and his lover Talbot are horrible queeny stereotypes and the writing for Talbot was piss poor bad. Well they are the undead, so I guess they can act like La Cage circa 1975.

I thought the writing for the dream homo scene was good (Bill Sam) - and Lafayette gets good lines.

Basically I like the objectification of all the straight boy flesh. There was even the line this week of Jason being "prettier than a girl" - I laughed out loud. I wonder which audience this parade of naked straight hotties is for - women, straights (metros), or gays. Or all? I tend to think it is all and find that hilarious and good showbusiness..

That wasn't the Queen, that was his maker. They have had a rocky relationship ever since she turned him into a vampire.

I loved those flashbacks in previous seasons showing how she made him into a vampire during the Civil War and then another flashback of them hanging out during the 1920s and sharing young girls that they would pick up at speakeasies.

There was even the line this week of Jason being "prettier than a girl" - I laughed out loud.

Yes, that was a good line. Overall they really blur the sexual boundaries, which is one of the reasons the show is so great. That Pam is hilarious, too. I wonder how much of their audience is straight men.

I love the show... the acting is kinda duh? not the best acting but, the actors are hot! especially Eric... I would love to live in that small town! alot of action going on... I'd be hanging out at that Vampire club... probally hooked on V-blood? and donating mine... Jason has the smarts of but an awesome body! fun show and some good looking men!

Thanks for clearing that up for me but damn they look alike.....And I am glad that Mecch agrees with me about the Sookie video. It was tacky and poorly done, maybe HBO thought if Snoop watches it that would bring more people to watching it,idk.

I love the characters of True Blood but like I said before Lafayette is my fave. I have him as a screensaver on my laptop. If he is not gay in real life, he sure does pull it off quite well on the show. He is just so sexy and I love the way he talks especially when he is calling someone a hooker. I just about died when he called Pam a hooker and she quips with "no, that was a long, long time ago".

The Sookie video with Snoop Dogg was totally tacky. I just don't get that man. I like where season 3 is going. I am waiting for that moment where it hooks me in. Every season does it where I can't stop. Maybe I am at that point(if not real soon). This show is such an addiction. I was like that with Alan Ball's "Six Feet Under". He's just amazing.

Remarkably, the opening 2 minutes of True Blood Season 3 Episode 2 was exciting enuff to sink the entire first episode premiere. It's that good! The second episode never let up on intensity and was really clever. Those witty funny one liners were killers.

Welcome back True Blood, my blood is racing again. Can't wait for it this Sunday !

That last scene with Bill and his maker was . . . let's just say TB has a way of seamlessly blending the hilarious with the scary with the sexy. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry or jack off.

And that werewolf that Eric got to escort Sookie to Mississippi is kinda hot.

This is how Access Hollywood described him:

Towering 6'5" into the skies, he has the body of a Greek god, his torso a symmetrically perfect series of heavenly-blessed abs and pecs. He has the smooth, olive tan of a Portuguese soccer player and the square cut jaw line of an all-American hero. And then there are those eyes - a bewitching shade of brown that can flicker with hints of wonderment and magic or, in an instant, can turn steely, dark and brooding.

Not sure if its the purple prose or the guy, but Beulah dear, fetch me my smelling salts.

Yes, that twisted sex scene was the talk of the night. But I thought sex with Tara and Franklin was kinda scary. Tara's eyes rolled so much back in her head I thought she was either possessed or was gonna start speaking in tongues.......And in the next episode Sookie with Eric......oh oh

I'm pretty sure it's Sookie who drank Eric's blood. I don't remember the details but he was injured after the Children of the Sun fight and he lied to her saying that if she drinks his blood he would heal and she fell for it. She even says something in one of the recent episodes to the effect of "I'm not falling for that line again."

It's vampire blood that has the power to make humans form a bond to the vampire, not the other way around. Although that would not explain why all those people who do V don't form bonds, unless maybe it has to be drunk directly from the vampire's veins.

This is from a thread about TB on afterelton.com:

It's official: I love Eric. What he does this week was low, underhanded, and completely unfair to Sookie ... and I laughed my ass off. After the big bang, with human and vampire entrails strewn all over, Bill comes in to find Eric splayed on top of Sookie, with him exclaiming "she's okay, I covered her". While Bill rushes out to confront the human attackers, Eric convinces Sookie that the silver bullets he's been struck with are killing him, and he'll die unless she helps him.

Sookie believes him. *Sigh ... Oh, Sookie*. He tells her she needs to suck the bullets out before they kill him, and she agrees. This scene is flat-out hilarious, because while Alexander Skarsgard is a wonderful actor, Eric is not, and how Sookie can fall for his B.S. is a mystery.

When Bill comes back in, he explains to Sookie that Eric has forced her to drink his blood, which means they're now ... connected. He can sense her emotions, and she may start feeling sexually attracted to him. She calls Eric a "big doody head" or "big lying A-hole" or something, but the damage is done.

I knew someone would get to the bottom of who did what between Eric and Sookie. I watched all 3 Season 3 episodes they showed tonight.. How many times I just can't count. Now they are teasing us making us wait til July 11th for a new episode. What gives? It's too early in the season for a break.

The same way Sam had that homoerotic dream with Eric in S03E01. He drank/needed Eric's blood to heal fast last season after being "sacrificed" for Mary Ann's ritual in order to come back alive as the bullock groom to kill her. So now Sam will always have the hots for Eric just like Sookie "has" for Eric.

That weird Maryanne was quite witchy. What kind of creature was she, again?

I'm surprised there have been no voodoo plots yet. But the whole Maryanne thing was quite "voodoo"y at the end.

I am not sure what Mary Ann was since she showed her hoofs a few times. I was disappointed with the woman doing fake witchcraft on Tara's mother. Making it seem like witchcraft or Paganism is a scam of some sort. I am not saying there isn't people out there that do scam...Remember Ms. Cleo but there are people like myself who do practice and take it very seriously.

Oh, geez, I forgot about that. That was very voodoo.
